Refined tranquility hangs in the air here in Blankenese at Süllberg, where the white villas of the long-established high society of Hamburg inhabit this expensive hillside location. For those who enjoy gardens, climbing the hill via 5,000 stair steps will be a pleasure. At the top, the view across the Elbe and the environment unfolds. Anyone tired of hiking can take the bus called Bergziege (“mountain goat”).
